  Leopards don't change their spots. That sleazebag Clinton made a pass at my wife when he was governor of Arkansas. When I told him to get his hand off my wife's ass, he told me to go f...k myself--in front of my wife. He was ostracized at first from the lucrative speakers circuit in the USA, but after he started making big bucks on the speakers circuit overseas, he started getting big-buck gigs in the USA. Too bad. I wish him nothing but bad luck and trouble.

  He had her hand on your wife's ass? Was it just sitting there, for a time, her not minding it much? And you had to intervene? Hm.

  obviously clintons made a blood oath not to do what gore did nov 3 2000.

  can't blame them -- after all, as far as hillary is from the white house -- she's a heckuva lot closer than almost every other american.

  Llew, you really have nerve. That's not what Henderson wrote. You are projecting your own fiction onto HIS story.

  If you don't flat out don't believe his story, then say so, but don't create your own story about an event you have no direct knowledge about.

  I cannot stand when people who blog that read selectively or cannot read accurately because what someone else wrote does not fit their vision.

  Uggh!

  Eisenhower was the first president subject to term limitations

  Author's description of Clinton's unfamiliarity with ATM's, cell phones, computers, etc, because of the isolation and insulation of the White House reminds me of the flak George H.W. Bush caught when he first saw a scanner at a supermarket checkout counter.

  Bush was mocked and skewed (mostly by the left) for being "out of touch" with everyday Americans. True, but I guess that will be true of every President.

  Clinton probably had a hard time finding a secretary because his secretary in the White House got stuck with legal bills resulting from the Lewinsky scandal. Remember Betty Currie? I’m sure he never reimbursed Currie.

  Clinton should have been prosecuted for the Marc Rich pardon. He already disgraced the presidency with his behavior, and then he cemented his failed legacy with the Rich pardon.

  Can anyone who writes an unauthorized biography truly claim not to have an ax to grind?

  Re: Donald Henderson, Ugh! What a disgusting experience for both you and your wife.

  Does Ms. Felsenthal know if it true that Bill does not like Barack?

  which would be strange because they're so similar.

  Does anyone else get the impression that deep down, bill might not want hillary to be president?

  Your author did herself nor her book any good with this interview. Her biases are blatant(thanks for asking that question). She offers no supporting reasons for her wild and subjective opinions. It is prety clear that her book would just be more of the same crap.

  What's so surprising about the author's picture of Clinton? What kind of person sets out and becomes the president of the U.S., anyway? Of course, it takes someone with an incredible ego, obsessive hyperactive energy, an adolescent arrogance, a superhuman ability to BS, an A-personality type. Did I say "A"? Make that AAA! If a person didn't have these characteristics in abundance, the very critics who find this author offensive would not look twice at such a man or woman; and neither would anyone else.

  Michael B, I'm assuming you're flailing around in anger because of my mistyping "her" instead of "his." Sorry for the mistake. Take a deep breath. My point is, I don't believe Donald's story. It sounds ridiculous. Philandering is one thing, but acting like a drunken ass at a party and harassing people? I doubt it.

  To Jeffrey of East Elmhurst, Thanks for concisely bringing us back to reality concerning the nature of political animals. We always forget who and what we're looking at when we consider the "character" of politicians.

  To Marnie, I've had that same thought about Clinton subconsciously resenting Hil for quite a while now.

  To Antonio, Bill Clinton and Barak Obama couldn't be more different. Anyway, people who are similar (which they aren't) often clash and detest each other, especially in arenas of power.
